Preston Social

The Preston Social is a monthly event in Preston, Lancashire, designed to bring together those interested in social and digital media from the local area to learn, teach and meet each other.

Similar events have become well established in both Birmingham and Manchester, and we feel that there’s no reason why we can’t do the same for Preston.

The city has a small but dedicated group of people involved in marketing, journalism, web development and online consultancy which makes for a vibrant and diverse series of meetups, talks and workshops. The Preston Social is a hub of learning and socialising for anyone passionate about the many uses of social media in the North West, encompassing Preston, Lancaster, Blackburn and beyond!

The third edition was a discussion based around privacy, openness and how public we are online. Leading the discussion was Tom Stables along with journalist and advocate of transparency, Daniel Bentley. You can read all about the event here.

We want this to be a community-run event, and that’s where we need your help. Have you found an innovative use of social media within your business, or on a personal level? Has social media helped get you a job, publish some work, or meet new friends? We’d love to hear from people who want to share their knowledge with the community to speak at future events, so get in touch.
